My goal is to bonsai all my bougainvilleas in a pot up to a 15-gallon pot max and train them into a tree form some a main trunks or two.

Here is an image of the most post current look of the bougainvillea Sundown Orange on 5/23/24.

5/23/24: Bougainvillea ‘Sundown Orange’ is one of my favorite bougainvillea variety because it has my favorite colors mix. I bought this pot for $16.99 from Lukas Nursery in Oviedo, Florida. I will only update this post with before and after pruning to show you how I shape my bougainvillea into a tree shape.

5/23/24: The pot originally came with two rooted plants so I split them up, trimmed back the thick roots, trimmed off side branches and sucker branches, and repotted the two with rich organic soil with good drainage.

To be updated once or twice a year.
